So I found out the other day that my application to study in Japan has been approved. Basically as part of my medical course we have to spend four weeks studying in a health institution other than the one that we normally study in, so I applied for an exchange to Japan. Now that it's been approved I have a veritable mountain of paperwork I have to sift through and fill out though, but I'm just stoked because Japan is somewhere I've always wanted to go and have never had the chance.

Ah you bastard, I want to go to Japan! I request (and expect) plenty of pictograms.

Ought to, does for me on both uni and home computers. It's just a demonstration of the coriolis effect at the equator - head north of it twenty metres and water drains clockwise; head south of it twenty metres and water drains counter-clockwise; stand dead on it and it drains straight down. Unreal.

I will be conducting another study later this year/early next year recruiting participants from this site. This time, however, I have a grant which will allow me to purchase incentives to give people. Everyone will receive a $10 voucher for... something. That's where I'm stuck.

See, it needs to be something I can give out online, via email or PM, rather than actually sending internationally. Current ideas are iTunes and Steam (?). What sorts of things might you guys want?

Cheers for the help guys. Aye, I'm intending to give everyone their choice of what they want. I'm hoping most people will be happy with a choice of Steam/iTunes, but it's conceivable that they won't want either, so I'm brainstorming for other things I could give out.

VISA do prepaid credit cards that work internationally, but I'd have to either mail them out or put down participants' addresses for VISA to mail them to, and in both cases I don't think people will be comfortable with that.

Do Xbox/PSN stores work similar to Steam in that you can just load up on credit with a code or something?
